Comparison of osmosis and reverse osmosis?

Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Reverse osmosis is a process that uses pressure to force water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, removing impurities and particles. Reverse osmosis is a more efficient process for purifying water compared to osmosis.
